EARTH FIRE AIR and WATER
The world is out of balance
Too much FIRE
Too much WATER
And not enough AIR
Mother Earth is suffering
And all those who sail in and upon her breast.
Do we think too much of ourselves, our personal comfort, our wants, and not enough of the whole? Is there too much dark magic and not enough of the angels of LIGHT?
Where is the balance and HARMONY, where is the heeded warning of the previous times? [see blogs December 2018 & December 2020]
Thoughts must be guarded, for this is the seed sown without our knowledge. May the children of the world save us.
To paraphrase ‘Faust’ Part II, Act V, Scene V
“Could we but banish magic and unlearn
its incantations, could we but stand alone
before thee – then, O Nature,
it were worthwhile to be a human”
[From Alice Raphael, ‘Goethe and the Philosopher’s Stone 1965]
Sea Priest: Our shattered city dips in last salute
With shadow fingers stretched to tip sea craft
And yields her people with a broken hand
Upon the sea and we are torn apart.
In silence now the journey takes effect
On memory and with this phase begun
All come with urgency and looking back
See recreated City of the Sun.
Law Keeper: Give us some strength with words
For as we leave our ways
Close up to stem a life
That cannot be retained.
Give us some truth to hold
Through distance as we ride
The strange dark worlds to come
Where tenure is denied.
Crystal’s Eye: Take images of past and make your gift
A knowledge that out-rules, out-stretches span
And leads you all beyond this cyclic rift
To make of future mastery in man.
Against adversity have strength to hold
Such truth as you have known and let it be
Your world of new beginnings to unfold
Another universe when you can see.
Navigator: We travel out in distance unprepared
Where images unborn have truth concealed
And we endure with hope, for being spared
That vision, all our destiny is sealed.
[From Su Leyborne, ‘The Crystal’s Eye’, 1985-7]
